SPEAKING TOPICS

KEYNOTE TOPICS

  • The framework for building resilience before you need it.

    Angela shares the five foundational pillars that have carried her, and the leaders and organisations she’s worked with, through their hardest seasons. Practical, personal, and deeply grounded in thirty years of real-world experience, this is the framework you will return to long after the event is over.

  • Our teams don't need us to be perfect. They need us to be clear about what matters and why.

    Angela explores what authentic, accountable leadership looks like in practice: how to lead with integrity when the pressure is on, how to build cultures where accountability isn’t punitive but empowering, and how to become the kind of leader people actually want to follow.

  • Built for high-stakes environments where resilience isn’t optional.

    Drawing on 15 years advising healthcare organisations as CEO of Wakefield Brunswick, Angela speaks to the unique resilience demands of the sector and the strategies that help teams, leaders, and systems not just survive disruption, but design for it.

  • Sustainable performance starts with sustainable people.

    Angela makes the case for integrating genuine wellbeing practices into the way we lead, the way we build organizations, and the way we live. This isn’t about yoga and green smoothies. It’s about the deeper habits, boundaries, and cultural shifts that allow people to bring their best to their work without burning through everything they have to do it.
